Ulita
Just five Polish women carry Ulita, so most people here will never meet one. A Slavic name that reads as a diminutive: "little Julia".

What Ulita means
Where Ulita comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Ulita comes from Slavic ground but rests on a Latin root. It is the Russian folk form of Julitta, and Julitta traces back to Julia. That older layer supplies the short meaning: little Julia, mała Julia.
The name entered Russian life through the Orthodox calendar. Saint Julitta, a widow from Asia Minor, died for her faith under Diocletian alongside her small son Kirik. Russian tradition renamed the pair Kirik and Ulita and fixed their feast on 28 July. Farmers watched that day for rain.
In a Polish class register, Ulita would sit alone beside the familiar Julia and Julita. Julita is the form Polish speakers recognise, and it draws on the same source. Ulita keeps the eastern shape, the one from the icon panels where the widow stands next to her child. The name still means what it meant there: little Julia.
